#Ministerialscreening: Senate finally screens Rotimi Amaechi

The senate today finally screened former Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi. During his screening, Rotimi Amaechi informed the senate of his achievements while he was the speaker of the Rivers state House of Assembly and also as governor of the state.

Speaking on corruption, Amaechi said he is a man that doesn't like corruption and has always stood against it since his days as a Student Union President. He said he finds it difficult to do what people want him to do if it clashes with his standing principle.

He said he is unable to define corruption as it takes various forms and that corruption does not only entail the exchange of money. He said given positions to close relatives who do not qualify for a job is also a form of corruption.

He stated that there is no where he has been indicted of being corrupt and that he has never taken bribe before. "'If they send a girl to you to do something for her and you sleep with the girl, you are corrupt.' he said

Amaechi said he was very vocal as a president of the Nigerian Governors Forum because he believed that he needed to fight for the rights of Nigerians. Amaechi suggested that he will become a senator after he is made minister.

He said he believed in APC and the change it has promised. According to him, Power and Executive impunity has been checked since APC came into power.

On how to reduce unemployment, Amaechi said investing in Agriculture and Technology is a major way of providing job opportunities in Nigeria. He also said that peace is a key factor to improving employment base in Nigeria.

On how APC took PDP out of power, he said they were able to inform Nigerians that there was massive corruption in system and that things needed to change. He spoke on how Federal might affected him while he was governor. He narrated how for three years he had a rocky relationship with his state commissioner of police and the state director of DSS.

He advocated for punishment for defaulters in the Nigerian system. He was asked to take a bow and go

Finally. Why i like Amaechi is that he is not one to be easily influenced. He is stubborn to a fault which can work in his favour. They should give him a chance and let's see. If e no do well, na sack go be im name.

Chike Ononye said...

Well,congrats.Amechi did his best and was only being persecuted.The senate handled it maturely for the sake of the president who loves Amechi his party man and campaign strategist.Lets all now bury the hatchet and move forward.Thanks to our distinguished senators.from Chike Ononye in Onitsha.

Hahahaha.a-p-chi.....chiange.they can't speak without mentioning change.can't some idiots know brainwashing techniques when they see it.Change,corruption.this two words are always ingrained in the apc mens speech.Wake up people,u are being brainwashed.this is the "nudge" technique of america.Ok oo. Yes amaechi,corruption doesn't always entail money.for instance the billions u stole from rivers to give pmb for campaign is a kind of corruption while Pmb saying he will put u as minister when its clearly for the money u gave to his campaign is another kind of corruption.u not feeling shy to accepts buharis nomination despite stealing money to fund buharis campaign is another different kind of corruption.twist it as u may amaechi u are corrupt.and u not doing something that goes against ur will is just pride and arrogance becos the human will can be evil.after even lucifer himself resisted God becos Gods ways were against his evil will and principles. SCammers.......Aunty linlin how far;) abeg make my comments no miss oo.

Unknown said...

He was so confident nd took master of the show. He started by letting his enemies knows they once his friends nd also have worked for him as a governor. What a man of champion can't wait to see him as minister for niger delta or works

Unknown said...

Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi is my man. He was able to tell us his achievements while as Governor of Rivers State. He spoke with facts and figures. Nigerians knows his worth and is being persecuted for standing his right. Go on my man. You are the man of the moment.

Anonymous said...

Point of correction Linda, he was asked to take his leave, not bow and leave! I think there is a difference... because it seems he has not been cleared by the Senate yet! #JaggedEdge

You people in this country deserve your position, imagine you all congratulating him. I am ashamed you all are Nigerians, you want change yet see the kind of person that makes you happy. You people aren't ready for change. Ask Ameachi to account for the millions of naira (over 500million) spent on eradicating mosquitoes, yes mosquitoes not malaria. Continue clapping for him.

Sai Amaechi, I said it before that they might delay Amaechi screening but Amaechi must become a minister of federal republic of Nigeria. destiny maybe delay but destiny can not be change. Congrats to u Amaechi. Wike nd all the PDP criminals should go nd hug tranformer#

Funlola said...

I believe in Amaechi... I just love the fact he's one of the most controversial politician we've in Nigeria... He answered all the questions well and also I think he wld be a good minister if he's given the opportunity. Whether the pdp senators likes it or not, he's already a minister... Congrats sir and I like him a lot

Amechi ride on Notting do you

Anonymous said...

Can't you see how dumb you sound! His screening has been delayed endlessly because of baseless accusations from nitwits like yourself! Yet, not even one of those numbskulls in PDP could bring a single accusation against him in the chamber. It's a pity when THIEVES try people via the media because they are afraid of their own shadows. Amaechi is not a Saint but in comparison to his haters like you, he is a DOUBLE SAINTS

Anonymous said...

when I read some of the comments pple make on this blog, I simply wonder about our future. Here we are criticizing Nigerian Government for recycling redundancy and praising Canada for electing a 43year old president. Now tell me, how many of us really, who reason the way we do currently actually do have or have nursed that aspiration. Uninformed arm chair criticism will never get us there. We should do a bit more research on information we receive and absorb and in that way, will be able to make informed judgment. Cyberspace has given us the ability to speak up and be heard but it is not a leeway to being stupid

Unknown said...

Let him be confirmed first..
